This Essential Oil Spider & Insect Repellent is designed for homeowners seeking a non-toxic way to manage crawling insects in their living spaces. By leveraging the natural properties of concentrated peppermint oil, this 30ml formula creates up to 10 liters of repellent, offering a safe alternative to harsh chemical pesticides, traps, or poisons. While highly effective as a deterrent, it is important to note that this product works by repelling rather than eliminating existing infestations, meaning it is best suited for preventative maintenance and creating a protective barrier around the home.

Yes, this formula is made with natural essential oils and is designed to be safe for use around pets and children when applied according to the instructions.
No, this product acts as a deterrent. It uses natural scents to keep spiders and insects away rather than killing them with poison.
For best results, reapply whenever the scent begins to fade, typically every few days, especially in areas with high airflow.
While it is generally safe, we recommend doing a spot test on an inconspicuous area of your carpet to ensure the essential oils do not cause staining.
The product is designed specifically to deter spiders and various crawling insects using their natural aversion to peppermint oil.
Ensure you are applying the spray regularly as scents dissipate over time. Also, check for and remove existing webs to prevent re-colonization.
Test the dilution ratio with more water or ensure you are misting the product finely rather than soaking surfaces directly.
Increase the water-to-concentrate ratio slightly or ensure better ventilation in the treated rooms after application.
Before use, ensure you have a standard spray bottle for mixing. To prepare the repellent, mix the concentrate with water following the 10L yield ratio. Always shake the spray bottle thoroughly before application to ensure the peppermint oil is evenly distributed. Store the concentrated bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the potency of the essential oils. Before applying to delicate fabrics, painted surfaces, or finished wood, perform a small spot test in an inconspicuous area to ensure no staining or residue occurs. Avoid contact with eyes and keep the concentrate tightly capped when not in use.
